History
Garnant State School opened on 11 September 1930 and closed on 1969.[3] The school which opened at Ridgelands (as it was then known and now a locality to the south of Garnant) was called Garnant after the town Garnant in Glamorganishire, Wales, which was the home town of local resident Abraham Jones who took a leading role in establishing the school.[4] Presumably the locality took its name from the school. The school building was relocated from neighbouring Morinish where the Morinish State School had closed in 1928.[5][3] The school was located on Evans Road (23.1902°S 150.2595°E).[6][7]
In the 2016 census Garnant had a population of 99 people.[1]
